A Process of Discovery

Selecting the right school for your family is a process that takes time. Before applying, take advantage of all the opportunities we provide for you to get to know us.

Through teacher-led Introductory Events and an observation or student-led school tour (MS applicants), you will learn the richness of our programs and discover whether the Pacific Crest community is right for your family!

We ask that families participate in all 3 steps.

Our admissions process is designed to give you the opportunity to get to know our school and the Montessori philosophy that allows every child to thrive.

1. Our Intro Events will give you an important overview of our unique program.

2. Observe children at work in our classrooms and absorb the feeling of our school’s nurturing community. 

3. We finish the admissions process with the Application and Interview for the adults (unless your student will be entering Middle School - then they are a critical member of the group conversation).
